Conclusion.This book assesses key works of twentieth-century dystopian fiction, including Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, to demonstrate that the major authors of this genre locate empathy and morality in eroticism. Taken together, these books delineate a subset of politically conscious speculative literature, which can be understood collectively as projected political fiction. While Thomas Horan addresses problematic aspects of this subgenre, particularly sexist and racist stereotypes, he also highlights how some of these texts locate social responsibility in queer and other non-heteronormative sexual relationships, anticipating the ideas of various cultural theorists. In these novels, even when the illicit relationship itself is truncated, sexual desire fosters hope and community.Palgrave Studies in Utopianism,2946-448XLiteratureHistory and criticismHistory, ModernCivilizationHistoryIntellectual lifeHistoryComparative literatureLiterary HistoryModern HistoryCultural HistoryIntellectual HistoryComparative LiteratureLiteratureHistory and criticism.History, Modern.CivilizationHistory.Intellectual lifeHistory.Comparative literature.Literary History.Modern History.Cultural History.Intellectual History.Comparative Literature.809.304Horan Thomasauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut151248BOOK9910299801403321Desire and Empathy in Twentieth-Century Dystopian Fiction2501123UNINA01183nam0 22002891i 450 UON0019595520231205103234.14784-7684-090-X20030730d1988 |0itac50 baspaES|||| |||||Desviación social(Una aproximación a la teoría y la intervención)Ernesto Coy, M. del Carmen MartinezMurciaUniversidad, Secretariado de Publicaciones1988. 158 p. ; 20 cmEmarginazione socialeUONC040845FIPsicologia socialeUONC017234FIESMurciaUONL000956155.92Influenza dell'ambiente sociale21COYErnestoUONV116316678803MARTINEZM. del CarmenUONV116317678804Universidad de MurciaUONV250527650ITSOL20251003RICASIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOUONSIUON00195955SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI SPA M 093 SI LO 59411 7 093 Desviación social1290005UNIOR
